Abstract
ERβ has been associated with estrogen-induced promotion of memory function and neuronal survival. Based on the optimized complex structure of human ERβ LBD bound with genistein, computer-aided structure-based virtual screening against a natural source chemical database was conducted to determine the occurrence of plant-based ERβ-selective ligands. Twelve representative hits derived from database screening were assessed for their binding profiles to both ERs, three of which displayed over 100-fold binding selectivity to ERβ over ERα.
